 mantling, helmet, and wreath, but without a crest. The arms 

 are a bend, or bendlet, between two dolphins naiant. impaling,

 below). 



Underneath the shield are the following lines : 



Faith, virtue, patience, love, and all in all, 



This Godly Matron had ever at her call, 



Whose lyfe, whose death, whose charitie, whose fame, 



Lyeth still recorded in the book of fame, 



And though this wall doth parte her love and shee 



Their souls are coheirs of felicitie. 



See here shee lyes 

 who did alwaies 

 walk by y^ lyffe 

 of this good wife. 



Feare God her neighbour love 

 And thou shalt live above.
